Drivers will see a national speed limit dropped to 60mph from this week. Drivers on the A38 Plymouth Parkway have been warned they will face a new 60mph speed limit from Monday, November 17 as part of new safety measures.

After a consultation, National Highways said it is taking “a significant first step towards improving safety” along the Plymouth Parkway by cutting the speed limit from 70mph to 60mph.

The scheme is anticipated to be finished by December 22 with the new permanent speed limit live and enforceable soon after. Jack Mason, National Highways’ South West road safety manager, said: “The initiative follows a long-term safety review and is part of our ongoing commitment to reduce the number of people harmed on the region's roads.
